#12 2010-03-29 08:36 Please try to remember that behind all of the medication and disorgansed behaviour is a thinking person who needs to be allowed to make decisions and to think about their own future. Don\\\'t wrap them so tightly in your love that they feel they have no self-determining ability anymore. Don\\\'t disempower the patient. It\\\'s a balance between what decisions they can make and those that they shouldn\\\'t be making just yet. Two-way trust is the key to the enduring and therapeutic relationship with the depressed individual.

It’s not easy having it and being so grumpy and angry and not being your self :sad. Its time to tell someone about it, and I\\\'m telling you now it\\\'s not easy. Don\\\'t be ashamed of this and hide it so it’s bottled up inside…remember its okay to cry to let all this out…take care
